Chapter 286: Ch.286 Stirrings and Success
Inside Uchiha Shinji's apartment.
"Hmph!"
With a cold expression, Uchiha Shinji let out a light grunt, activating 'Wazunagi.' With the overwhelming dojutsu power of his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, he simultaneously suppressed the Koryugan and the First Hokage's cells within Yakumo's body. Then, before either could react, he forcibly drew all of their chakra toward himself in one swift motion.
Ever since Yakumo's surgery began, he had been remotely monitoring its progress through the link of 'Jikibi' and the sensing of 'Wazunagi.'
Tsunade's surgical plan was nearly flawless—even if he were in charge, he couldn't have done it any better. So, he had resolved that if he didn't have to intervene, it would be best not to.
However, the wild ferocity of the First Hokage's cells far exceeded his expectations.
He had originally thought that while the First Hokage's cells were more domineering than White Zetsu's cells, the gap between them shouldn't be that vast. But after experiencing this, he realized the sheer terror of the First Hokage's cells—they were a full tier above White Zetsu's cells.
This also made him begin to understand why Uchiha Madara, back in the day, went to such lengths to use the power of the Divine Tree to dilute the First Hokage's cells and create White Zetsu's cells.
What shocked him even more was that, under the dual effects of Tsunade's suppressants and fusion agents, combined with the Koryugan's exertion, Yakumo had actually managed to endure the chakra invasion phase smoothly.
At that point, he, along with Tsunade and Shizune in the operating room, all thought the surgery had succeeded.
But unexpectedly, the Koryugan broke free from Yakumo's control at the critical moment, becoming just as much of a threat as the First Hokage's cells.
